Booking.com search rank

In shortBooking.com search rank is the position at which a hotel appears in the results list when a guest searches a city or area for given dates.

Most guests choose from the first page, so rank directly affects visibility and therefore sales. Rank can vary with dates, the area searched, number of guests and the guest's device.

Booking.com sets the order with its own algorithm and does not disclose every factor; price, availability, review score, the page's conversion performance and the programmes the hotel takes part in are among the known ones.
